Exactly. Jae O was both deceived and in love, so in his case, that argument might make sense. But when it comes to the others, it only proves that A Jin was truly at fault. I even believe that A Jin hurt Jun Seo too, she knew he was drowning in guilt, and she used that to trap him deeper in it and take advantage of him.

Some people still don’t understand what misogyny actually means. A Jin is responsible for her actions. Those who refuse to hold her accountable are honestly baffling to me, they use meaningless arguments to defend her, and trying to reason with them feels completely pointless.

Exactly, that’s how I feel too, I just couldn’t understand how people defended A Jin’s behavior. She was guilty. The worst thing I heard was during a conversation when I said A Jin treated the café owner badly, and the other person replied, “The café owner was just too kind and stupid, so he deserved what happened.” I was shocked reading that. This kind of answer makes it seem like if we meet a kind person in real life, it’s acceptable to exploit them and then just say, “Oh? They were stupid anyway.” Why should kindness be portrayed as stupidity? It’s completely ridiculous.

And yes, her behavior toward In Gang was awful. When In Gang died and she said, “You were just unlucky,” it made me realize even more that A Jin was guilty, because every time she hurt someone or ruined their life, she would just say they were unfortunate or unlucky. Overall, that ending and the exposure of her actions were A Jin’s punishment, carried out by Jun Seo. Sure, he could have handled it differently, but I agreed with the decision to expose her. A Jin was truly hurting everyone around her.

After reading that comment, I let out a deep, relieved breath, because if you'd said you agreed with her, I probably would’ve had to start arguing again to prove that A Jin doesn’t deserve full defense.

At first, I saw A Jin as a victim. Then I saw her as both a victim and a perpetrator. And finally, I saw her as someone who, more than being a victim, was simply guilty. She used everyone around her as tools, even Jae O and Jun Seo were just instruments to her. She wasn’t even that upset about Jae O’s death. Her success was built on the misery of others.

In episode 4, Jun Seo had a line: “If one day she manages to find happiness, even for a moment, that happiness will be built on the suffering of others and that kind of false happiness never lasts.” That line perfectly sums up A Jin’s entire arc, and I completely agree with it.

Yes, she had a hard childhood and was a victim, but that doesn’t give her the right to use people and treat them like tools. I totally agree! But there are still people who blindly defend her and insist she’s just a victim! and that’s simply not true.

Yes, I think that ending was fitting for A Jin. The successes she built came from the suffering and pain of others, so her downfall was inevitable. But I didn’t quite understand, did you mean that you agree or disagree with those who defend A Jin? And yes, as I said before, it’s illogical but still possible. That’s how it is; our imagination can easily carry the story forward.

Still, this idea seems a bit illogical. People have already seen plenty of evidence of how A Jin behaves, and even just to avoid getting caught up with someone like her, they would choose not to help her. It’s possible, but it feels a bit meaningless. Overall, I think making a second season for the series might be pointless, since the main focus and storyline basically ended halfway in the first season.

The problem is that A Jin no longer has anyone to persuade or to help her release the video. If that alone becomes the focus of season two, it might not be that interesting. Still, I really enjoyed the scenes between A Jin and Do Hyuk—the dynamic between two rivals who will do anything for themselves and their desires was truly captivating.

Maybe that’s true, but consider that people no longer believe A Jin. Even if she releases the video, they might think she only did it because she got into trouble, and even with evidence, they won’t pay attention to her words. After all, Do Hyuk is wealthy enough to silence her, especially now that A Jin has nothing. Maybe A Jin could try to control him, but Do Hyuk can just as easily keep her quiet.

I’m not defending Jun Seo, he was often too pitiful, and I agree with that. But for a long time he carried guilt over something that wasn’t even his fault, and he stuck by A Jin to try to erase that guilt, even though he could have lived a better life separately. Since he believed he was responsible and that A Jin became the kind of person she is because of him, he wanted to fix her, though most of the time he disagreed with her actions.

As for Jae O, his death was meaningful but ultimately for nothing. He died so that Do Hyuk would be brought down and stop tormenting A Jin, but nothing happened to Do Hyuk. He should have at least faced some punishment.

Maybe I agree with you about A Jin deserving punishment, since I’ve thought about that too. But who says it really has to be that way? A Jin wasn’t even that upset about Jae O’s death, she only thought about how to use it. Still, her survival with nothing left to hold onto, yes… that in itself is a punishment.

A Jin’s life is already ruined and she has nothing left to lose, and Do Hyuk is not going to be kind to her if he finds her again. The most logical way to continue season two is for her to expose that video. Without releasing it, Jae O’s death becomes completely meaningless.

This ending was honestly terrible. I wasn’t expecting a legendary finale, but I did expect a decent one!

In the series, Jae O literally died for nothing. The video he recorded to expose A Jin’s husband wasn’t even shown, and Do Hyuk didn’t get punished! That was the first major flaw.

Then when Jun Seo and A Jin crashed the car, the most logical outcome would’ve been for A Jin to die too. What was the point of Jun Seo’s death? It just added more tragedy to his already miserable life.

With this kind of ending, they can’t even build a strong second season. There’s no solid storyline left to develop, no real opportunity for A Jin’s redemption or growth. The only thing left is for her to release Do Hyuk’s video and take him down, but that alone won’t be enough to make season two as compelling as the first.

Khemjira was truly amazing! Watching it was such a joy, and it turned out to be a phenomenal series. The graphic design and cinematography were absolutely stunning and visually captivating. The actors portrayed their roles brilliantly, and although Namping’s performance as Khem could have been even better, I was genuinely satisfied. Ultimately, everyone has their own taste in series, but I’d definitely recommend giving Khemjira a chance.
